heh! u guys are gonna get a photo overdose today.. haha. yes, a long overdue post abt my 21st birthday. yes everyone, i am 21 - OFFICIALLY OLD. wrinkly like psuedomalei. boo.. i bet i spelt it wrongly, so whatever.

i had my birthday party on the 19th, a tad early but more on tt later. yup, but what happened earlier today, i just have to write abt it first :) ok see, i was at emily's bday party with some of the other med guys and my friends.. after which i went home and popped myself into the shower. well see, i totally didn't suspect anything was gonna happen. i didn't pick up anything when zhimin said to pooja, enjoy yrself later at xinquan's.. or when i called zp back on his handphone and he just muttered something inaudible and hang up. well, ian said his sms to me, made me think he was home and nothing was abt to happen. but truth be told, i didn't think there would be a surprise until my door started to be hammered profusely at around 12am. ahh.. and i was like, wth and when i opened the door.. a cake and a very stunned expression.

yes.. really unglam photos.. but they'll be up cuz i was really so pleasantly surprised and touched..

present from my parents.. they were in cahoots!!

then i gave a speech.. gosh, it was so strange.. but well, i mean i would've wanted to say what i did anyway.. so in a way, thanks zp for 'forcing' me to do it haha, though no photos of my spastic and constipated looks. and so, i proceeded to unwrap presents!

first, its gotta be my favourite present hanging on my wall now... :D

and with the 2 creators! what an excellent gift.. thank u so much.. :) great idea and it looks excellent!

then more presents...! a hedgehog.. too bad i dun have tt kinda hairstyle anymore.. :P wine, a guess jacket tt is so handy in the freezing LT.. and a very gd looking fossil watch chosen by chenzp! i must mention his name cuz he is so proud of his excellent taste. but yeah la.. its gd :D

then came this box of 21 presents.. though i shall not write too much abt ALL the presents.

they are v well chosen, but yeah, not gonna say the significance cuz i am sure whoever bought them knows it themselves :)

then came the purple package! haha.. itkz went to wrap this thing in millions of layers of newspapers... (an idea he got cuz of this story i told him btw).. and it was... viola an egg.. OMG.. i was speechless. well, i didn't get to use it for the same purpose as i did with the previous one i handled cuz someone was smart and ran away... :P

and more pix... :P

after all tt, a few guys went over to my place to stay over.. here's zp wearing my specs.. err, the eyepatch is cuz the degree too high on tt side.. LOL freaking lame, but we are soo creative la pls.

ian scrawling sth on my bed

and he helped me with the toy car cuz he thot i was too lousy though i was handling it perfectly fine i say!

aud acting cute..
haha last shot of the photowhores cuz i am simply too lazy to write anymore.. :P and nick was there as well.. and it was just a talkcock playcards do nonsense spendtime and take pix session.. haha :) yes, but turning 21 may not be such a fantastic thing.. all the responsibilities just pile up and all, but well, at least i know i've got a great bunch of pple turning 21 with me soon, and with many more years down the road to share... :D
